I don't know. St Andrews, Prep and JA are very good schools.

Mississippi is like eastern Arkansas and if think some of the farmers and farming communities in those areas are poor, then you are out of your mind. I know several millionaire farmers whether it be from oil and mineral rights or the actual price of food commodities. Those fellas know how to make that cabbage.
Most outsiders don't understand this. Mostly because many of these people don't flaunt their wealth. I know a few farmers worth over 100 million that drive a nice truck, live in a comfortable home and wear jeans and boots everyday and on first impression you wouldn't think "this guy is a multi millionaire". But they own 15,000 plus acres of land, row crop and catfish ponds combined. Some have petroleum companies, own parts of local feed mills, processing plants, etc. and lots of hunting land across the nation.

I'll even add Brandon, NWR and D'Iberville/Moss Point to that as well. Hell, Moss Point gave us 3 Doors Down. That's like 1000 badass points alone.
Brandon was an excellent school, at least when I graduated from there.
And I was playing in a band around Jackson when 3 Doors Down was breaking. We were supposed to open for them a couple of times and kept hearing all this hype how they were going to get signed. Me and the other guitarist checked them out and they were, I shite you not, one of the worst "pro" hard rock acts I had ever heard. We laughed the gigs off and said no thanks.
Kryptonite broke on the radio literally two weeks later. So it goes in rock n' roll...

TN Private schools>>>>>>>> TN public schools>>>> a crackhead>>>> MS private schools
If you believe that the bigger private schools such as Prep, JA, MRA and Pillow have shite education, then you couldn't be more wrong.

Indianola Academy >>>>>>> any school in tennessee. Fact.
Only because we were allowed to drink beer in the left field lounge during baseball games. School property stopped at the fence and we had a cotton trailer with stands welded on it... would go drink beer and grill out.

All I'm saying is that there is a significantly higher portion of your fanbase that has not graduated from your university, which leads to them being less educated and thus having a lower salary.
You didn't think this argument through too well did you?
Ole Miss has 110,000 living alumni.
MSU has 124,000 living alumni.
In saying there is a significantly higher portion of our fanbase that hasn't graduated from our university, you are actually saying that we have a much larger fanbase overall(which simply isn't true, not yet anyway).
Saying MSU is poorer is misguided at best. That may have been true 25 years ago but not today. Every year, we put out 3k more students who then make more money on average over the entirety of their professional lives. The practical thinking and (usual) fiscal responsibility that comes with being an engineer does not imply "poor". It simply implies that most of us won't be fronting a $10k/yr party habit for our kids when they head to college in the future. Hence the "seen" discrepancy.
The tort situation in MS also provides the ultimate irony among OM's two highest potential donor bases and no doubt ends up hurting their bottom line to some extent.

That area in general does, and I've never understood it. I don't know what it is like now, but for awhile there the area around YC, Greenwood, and Greenville was just loaded with hot, ridiculously friendly girls. At least until they hit about 25 or so.
Posted on 10/3/12 at 12:27 am to Henry Jones Jr
Most of the girls i got with back then were from Greenville, cleveland, Yazoo and Grenada.
Greenville outweighing the others by a lot.

The girls from Washington School put out. That's about all I know as far as Greenville goes. Never had much experience with girls from Grenada.
